Walking into the room, Meng Zitao saw that there were many bookshelves in the room, but they seemed a bit messy, and the things were not classified into categories and were just placed on the bookshelves casually.
Meng Zitao was a little baffled. Uncle Wang¡¯s friend was supposed to be quite powerful, so why would he arrange things like this?
At this time, Zhu Jinqi apologized to Meng Zitao first: "Master Meng, I'm really sorry. My brother has a bad temper. Please forgive me."
Meng Zitao smiled and said it was okay. He and Zhu Jinlun did not have any deep hatred, so he still had to vent his anger on a person who was incompatible with his life.
Besides, Zhu Jinlun¡¯s stunned and angry look just now made Meng Zitao feel very happy.
Next, Meng Zitao began to appraise the things in the room. At this time, he understood the reason why the antiques seemed to be placed in a messy manner. This was because these antiques were placed according to value. Things with a value within a certain range were will be put together.
Meng Zitao guessed that this might be a friend of Uncle Wang. Because he felt that none of his children liked antiques, he deliberately placed them like this to prevent them from spoiling things.
After asking Zhu Jinqi next to him, Zhu Jinqi told him that it was indeed for this reason. Before his father passed away, he wrote down the value of the things and gave them to his mother.
However, because too much time has passed, the value of these things has changed a lot. Moreover, the value of some things rises quickly while others rise slowly, so they will ask people to come over and help.
Meng Zitao nodded, and then started to check. Although the chances of the items here being fake are relatively low, Meng Zitao does not take things carelessly and takes every item seriously.
But because Meng Zitao was faster, he had already identified one-third of the items in just a moment, which made Zhu Jinlun frown secretly.
Meng Zitao certainly had this consideration in mind and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhu, let me put it this way, I am responsible for the value of the things here. If you have any problems, you can come to me and I will compensate you." Loss."
"Of course, the antique market in different places is a little different, and the prices will be different. I can only guarantee that it is within a reasonable range. If it must meet someone's asking price, then I cannot guarantee it. In addition, this year, The price of Yue antiques is also changing with each passing day, so don¡¯t come to me to settle the account after a year or so if you think it¡¯s wrong.¡±
"Of course not." Zhu Jinqi laughed. Since Meng Zitao said so, he has nothing to worry about. Thinking about it, Wang Zhixuan is quite reliable. How could he introduce an unreliable person?
While Meng Zitao was appraising it, he wrote the price on a sticky note and pasted it somewhere where it would not have any impact. Since the collections in the room were basically high-quality products worth more than 40,000 to 50,000 yuan, the quantity was actually not large. In addition, Meng Zitao moved quickly, and by the time it was almost noon, he had already finished the work.
Zhu Jinqi looked at a few collections whose prices he had inquired about during this period. Although they had come and gone slightly, as Meng Zitao said, they were basically the same. This made Zhu Jinqi satisfied and at the same time she also admired Meng Zitao very much. .
You know, the collection in the house is very messy, including porcelain, jade, calligraphy and painting works, and stationery. Most appraisers are only proficient in one or two items. This is why Zhu Jinqi and the others saw only Meng Zitao as the appraiser. Came here and was very surprised. (Meng Zitao just introduced the army)
Now, Meng Zitao has actually accurately identified all these types of antiques. How can Zhu Jinqi not be impressed? He even wanted to open Meng Zitao's mind to see how he grew.
Zhu Jinqi took Meng Zitao back to the living room. Meng Zitao noticed that at this time, the table was already filled with delicacies.
Zhu Jinlun frowned and asked, "Has the appraisal been completed?"
Meng Zitao was quite unhappy with Zhu Jinlun, so he directly repeated what he had just said to Zhu Jinqi.
Meng Zitao had said this, what else could Zhu Jinlun say, but this also made him feel very unhappy with Meng Zitao, and he thought angrily if he should find another appraisal expert to come over and make an appraisal. If Meng Zitao's appraisal was wrong, , then don¡¯t blame him for being rude.
However, after a second thought, Zhu Jinlun gave up this plan and asked an appraisal expert to come over, but he had to pay for it, which he was not going to pay.
Now that Meng Zitao has finished the work, everyone is ready to have dinner. The old lady warmly invites her, and of course Meng Zitao cannot refuse.
Although today is the old lady¡¯s birthday, everyone here seemed very happy, but with a person like Zhu Jinlun here, Meng Zitao felt somewhatIt was a bit awkward, so he chose to ignore it.
Because of Meng Zitao¡¯s identity, everyone chatted for a while before talking about identification. Meng Zitao basically talked as much as he could.
After the conversation, Zhu Jinqi¡¯s wife took out the gold jewelry she was wearing and asked Meng Zitao to identify it.
For Meng Zitao, this was of course no difficulty at all. He took it in his hand and looked at it for a while before starting to comment. Overall, he did not suffer at all.
Afterwards, Zhu Shuyun also took off a bracelet from her hand and handed it to Meng Zitao, asking him to take a look.
As soon as the bracelet came into view, Meng Zitao knew that it was a tourmaline bracelet.
Tourmaline is a type of tourmaline that can reach jewelry grade. It usually comes in blue, red, brown, colorless, green, multi-color and other varieties. In my country, the word "tourmaline" first appeared in the Qing Dynasty. Legend has it that tourmaline was particularly loved by Cixi. Cixi¡¯s burial objects included many tourmaline jewelry, including precious varieties such as watermelon tourmaline.
The bracelet is mainly made of 18 tourmaline beads, embellished with two jade beads on the top and bottom, and a reddish-brown round tourmaline pendant underneath.
After a while, Meng Zitao said: "This is a tourmaline bracelet. It is of good quality and is quite old. It was made probably in the late Qing Dynasty and is worth around 90,000 to 100,000."
Meng Zitao¡¯s words made Zhu Shuyun and his wife look at each other, obviously the price shocked them.
Zhu Jinqi¡¯s wife smiled and said: ¡°Shuyun, I didn¡¯t expect that you carry a bracelet worth 100,000 yuan every day and you are not afraid of bumping it.¡±
Zhu Shuyun came back to her senses: "No way, this bracelet is passed down from the ancestors of the Aiping family. I don't know how much it costs. If I knew the bracelet was worth so much, how could I dare to wear it!"
Speaking of this, Zhu Shuyun herself felt a little scared. If she bumped into each other, she would really want to cry without tears.
After taking the bracelet, Zhu Shuyun did not dare to wear it anymore and carefully put the bracelet away.
Seeing that Zhu Shuyun had such an unexpected surprise, Zhu Jinlun and his wife felt very uncomfortable, so Zhu Jinlun's wife took off the diamond ring and necklace to Meng Zitao for appraisal. Both of them were platinum and diamond. It's big enough and worth a lot.
"Hmph, what's so great, my diamond ring is more expensive than yours!"
Zhu Jinlun's wife was very disdainful and asked with some pride: "Master Meng, my diamond ring is VS2 level, what do you think?"
Diamonds have multiple grades according to their quality, the highest of which is the flawless grade. Among them, the vs slightly flawed grade means that very small flaws can be seen when observing the diamond under a 10x gemstone magnifying glass. The difference between vs1 and vs2 is that the latter may have tiny cottony spots or small stubbles.
Meng Zitao brought the diamond ring in front of him to observe. The diamond ring was well maintained and looked as shiny as new. The platinum ring was set with a relatively large diamond, which shone brightly under the light.
However, Meng Zitao's sharp eyesight immediately discovered a problem, and then he took out professional tools for observation. Under the observation of the magnifying glass, the problem had nowhere to hide. Moreover, in addition to diamonds, rings also have problems.
Looking at the proud look on Zhu Jinlun's wife's face, Meng Zitao was a little worried about what would happen to her if she knew the result. However, with everyone looking at him, he could only say it.
Meng Zitao said: "This diamond ring actually has a groove of about 2 mm on the edge of the diamond. As you can see, it is obviously damaged when viewed under a 10x magnifying glass. It can also be found after careful observation with the naked eye. But because of the inlay of this diamond Later, it was partially covered by the ring setting, and for consumers without professional knowledge, it is basically impossible to detect this flaw.¡±
At this time, Zhu Jinlun and his wife were stunned. Meng Zitao shook his head secretly, and then came to the conclusion: "Strictly speaking, this ring can only be rated as P level, which is lower than the VS2 level you mentioned. Two levels.¡±
In fact, Meng Zitao had heard a lot about this kind of situation from Cheng Qiheng. For example, there were obvious cracks in the center of the diamond table, but the merchant quietly raised it to a higher level. Some diamonds have multiple black spots that can be seen with the naked eye, and their clarity is also grade SI. The salesperson also said that all SI diamonds have flaws.
In fact, according to relevant regulations, the si grade (minor flaw grade) refers to small flaws that can be easily found with a 10x magnifying glass; while the p grade is a heavy flaw grade. P grade diamonds rank the lowest among all grades. The definition is There are impurities, cracks and flaws visible to the naked eye inside. This kind of p-grade diamond can no longer be called a gem. If there are many obvious black spots in the diamond, it can only be defined as P grade.
As for the price difference in the middle, it is obvious. For example, if the clarity of a diamond with 80 points is reduced from vs2 to si1, the price difference can reach more than 5,000 yuan. The diamond in front of me is of course more than 80 cents in size, and the price difference is really huge.
After a while, Zhu Jinlun¡¯s wife came back to her senses and asked through gritted teeth: ¡°In other words, this diamond ring is not valuable?¡±
¡°That¡¯s not to say it¡¯s not valuable, but relatively speaking, the difference in value is quite large.¡±
Meng Zitao said: "Let's talk about the ring again"
Before Meng Zitao could finish speaking, Zhu Jinlun shouted: "What! You said there is something wrong with the ring? Isn't it platinum?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?Of course they are more than 80 cents in size, and the price difference is really huge.
